You will see that the base Jetta gas has a MSRP of $24975 and the TDI has a price of $26750 (both with manual gearbox). The three options packages are available at $2075, $3300 and $5125 respectively, same price gas or diesel.

On the VW US site, the Value Edition is gas only at $17900 but the TDI starts at $21605. That's a $3075 difference, not $6300; however the TDI has much more standard equipment than the Value Edition. The equivalent gas model is only about $1300 cheaper.

Steve....I think you are too focused on the word
"performance" has to do only with accelration..
"perfomance" relates to many things such as
passing power (tdi has plenty), fuel miser (did u think
tdi or diesel?), handling (tdi and mb cdi are both great)
